After criticizing her interview, ARD presenter Tina Hassel is now publicly apologizing for an explosive question to Annalena Baerbock.
Munich - The ARD summer interview Annalena Baerbocks with moderator Tina Hassel reverberates.
After criticism in social networks, Hassel now apologized for a question.
"I sincerely apologize to everyone who took my question in the #summer interview as inappropriate or even sexist," said the ARD journalist.
There was a stir that Hassel said in an interview last Sunday that the upcoming government could be the last one in which the climate crisis could be mitigated at all.
She asked the Greens Chancellor candidate Baerbock: "How would you explain to your children if the Greens might have lost the chance to help set this decisive course in the government because of their mother's avoidable mistakes."
I sincerely apologize to everyone who took my question in the #summer interview as inappropriate or even sexist.
@ABaerbock has addressed her children several times herself.
I am also a mother and I therefore very much regret that this impression was made.
